Students, in pairs or groups, can finish the sentences below.Â There’s really no wrong answer. Use your imagination.Â (No need to explain the rules of gerunds and infinitives-if such rules exist, they probably won’t help students learn.Â Instead, this activity gives them lots of practice and exposure to certain verbs that take gerunds, and certain verbs that take infinitives.Â In fact, you don’t have to mention gerunds and infinitives at all).

Compare the sentences when finished. Maybe award prizes to the most creative or funniest.

Whatâ€™s a C test? Well, starting from the second line of this poem, the second half of each word is missing. See if you can supply the correct letters to finish the words.

Answers to â€œTwo Witchesâ€
Such a scary witch Iâ€™ve never seen
with her hair so black and her skin so green,
and her rear so fat and her eyes like chorline.
On her broom she flies like a gargoyle statue
You can run from her, but sheâ€™ll always catch you.

But I know a beautiful witch too,
with reddish hair and eyes of moonlight blue.
If you are sad she has a spell for you.
On her broom no other witch can match her.
You run after her, but you wonâ€™t catch her.
